Laughing 

I was in London this Summer and I looked like a typical tourist. Camera around my neck I wandered aimlessly into the crowds pointing my camera and bumping into angry Londoners on their way to work. The image that I chose to take for laughing, instantly caught my eye. The Comedy Store was based on the club in the United States, after Peter Rosengard (club opener) had visited it. The club promoted alternative comedy, and helped a lot of comedians build and begin their careers. I chose to photograph The Comedy Store for 'laughing' as it is where a lot of now famous comedians began their careers and provoked laughter from their audiences.

 Like I said, all the pictures I took in London had to be taken quite quickly as I was in the middle of bustling crowds everywhere, so the composition on this image could be a little better. However, the main thing was to get a picture that represented laughing, which this does perfectly. I didn't feel that i had to put this image into Photoshop, as I didn't really want to change anything about it. I like how this picture is a little different to all of my others in regards to not being Photoshopped, I prefer it how it was taken. In reflection though, I would have made sure the composition of the image was slightly better.
